With each playoff game, it's looking more and more like Bama, Ole Miss and USC got screwed. Not just one of us... all freaking three of us. I dont think the committee could not have missed the mark any more than they did but they were probably more concerned with optics and diversity and such. Yep, fire them all. More ons.

Total farce.

Even worse than that because THREE worthy teams were left out.
Wrong. SMU went 11-1 and played for their conference championship. 3-loss SEC teams are not more deserving, and yes, I included the team I pull for in that. But I said what I said and stand by it. Until the top 2 conferences break away, you have to give everyone in the conferences the benefit of the doubt. See Clemson during the run. A lot of people said they didn’t belong, and they absolutely took an Alabama team to the woodshed. Otherwise you are relying on the eye test which I think is bs and subjective as hell.

Nah... No eye test. SOS and quality wins. A simple objective formula could have avoided this mess.

There is no way the SEC should have had only two teams in this abomination of an invitational. I will say this, PSU is the first team so far that looks like they should be here... but I reserve the right to change that position if by chance they play a team that has been battle tested during the regular season.

The committee manipulated the rankings to make sure SMU rose high enough to be in no matter what happened in the ACC championship game. They had them jumping teams by leaps and bounds as Miami and Clemson fell out of favor. There was always going to be two teams at the very least from the ACC. Like it or not this was gonna happen. It was on the agenda... and that's not even counting ND.

On the bright side, not giving the ACC a bye was definately the right call. Sadly tho, had SMU won the conference, I believe they would have gotten the bye ranked one spot ahead of Boise at the time. Scary thought

I didn't know the criteria was "be one of the 12 most deserving teams".
I can tell you after 2 games the college football playoffs is a joke and a snooze fest.

I gotta say not many descriptions can sound more subjective than "deserving".

Who you lose to matters. Those two don’t take that into account.
Dude, just stop. I'm not saying those are the only two factors. I'm just saying there was and is an objective way to do it that's much better than the current voodoo method.

I get it but AQ’s are not going anywhere so the only team you replace is smu. That’s it. All the conferences wanted aq

When the conf championship features a team outside the top-12 rankings, it should be a play-in game... even if it's #1 vs #13.
